Chapter 052: Traces of Decay
"Weiyang, great, you're finally saved! You've been in a coma for four days!" Ziling said with great joy.
"So, Grandpa Treeman, since you are the guardian of this Whispering Forest, you should know where the Sea of Bitterness is?" asked Wind Falling Sail towards the Tree Man.
"Bitter sea, bitter ring, of course I know. It was in the dragon's territory, guarded by a dragon king. ā
"What, Dragon King, where?" cried Windfall.
"Its lair is in a cave in the Dewy Abyss Cliffs. If you want to set foot on the Cliff of Bitterness, I'm afraid you'll have to defeat the dragon. The dragon guarded its lair and would not go out once for decades or even centuries. ā
"Dragon......" Starrain muttered, "will the seven of us be able to defeat it?"
"You can give it a try, you know where it is, there will always be a way to get it!" Feng Luofan said excitedly, "Old Tree Man, can you take us there?"
"It is a greedy, evil dragon that has taken many treasures of living beings, and has killed many monsters and the elves here, and if you fight it, we will do our best to help you. ā
"You, the Whispering Forest and the rest of your clan?"
"Here, there are thirteen treants in total. ā
"Shall we go and see your tribe and people?"
"No problem. Your companion has just been healed, he is very weak, and it is night, so rest here tonight and leave tomorrow. ā
At night, the Treants cast a magical barrier around the crowd. Throughout the night, no monsters came to disturb them.
The next day, the Tree Man led everyone to the depths of the forest for a whole day, and came to a place with dense trees. The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and there were no signs of wild animal activity.
"This is truly a secluded place!"
Twelve ancient tree trunks grew neatly in this forest, in a relatively empty woodland.
The old tree man muttered something that no one could understand, and the twelve old tree trunks pulled up their roots and came to life.
A tree man looked down at Feng Luofan and the others: "Just these little humans, do they dare to fight the dragon?"
"Humans, I don't think you'd better go, for the dragon has a lot of riches, and you can't beat it. ā
......
"No, we'll go, with our strength. "The wind falls on the sail road.
It seems that the treemen were infected by the fighting spirit of the wind and the sails, and some of the tree people began to shout, "Defeat the dragon! Defeat the dragon!" These words seemed a little strange to the ears of the wind and sails.
After another five days of marching, the forest became denser and thinner, and the ground turned from dirt to more and more stones, until at last the forest began to disappear and was replaced by sparse bushes and rocky mountains. At the end of the rocky hill is a canyon with no boundaries in sight, and the water from the forest gathers through thousands of streams on this canyon, turning into a great roar. The canyon is bottomless, and all the water flows into endless water vapor in the falling air, so that the surrounding flowers and trees are condensed with water droplets all day and night, just like dewdrops, this is the dew abyss!
"Follow the edge of the dewy abyss until you reach the end of it, and you will see the dragon's lair. "The Treants don't move forward together anymore.
The crowd had no choice but to bid farewell to the tree man and walk along the edge of the abyss.
On top of the cliff, a huge cave stands out from the eye.
"That's the Dragon's Lair!" Feng Luofan shouted, and through the entrance of the Dragon's Lair, a huge dragon head could be seen, "Stinky Dragon, wake up!"
The wind fell and the sail shouted, and then the mist filled the sky here, and with all his might, he summoned a huge sharp ice spear, which pierced the giant dragon head in the distance.
"Why, why did you do it so quickly!" Hua Weiyang shouted, but he couldn't stop the wind from dropping the sails.
"Strike first! You guys, why don't you do it? Ziling, didn't you do this often before?"
As he spoke, a huge dragon instantly appeared in the air in front of everyone, covering the sky and the sun, covering the mountains and seas, and its cold and deep eyes, like a king, shocked the creatures moving on the ground.
"Who is it, who is it that moved my dreams!, it is you, lowly humans!" the dragon's voice was deafening and resounding.
Wind Falling Sail's attack with all his strength did not cause any damage to the sleeping dragon, and Wind Falling Sail was stunned.
The dragon roared, and the magical elements around the wind and sails began to vibrate, and the space began to shatter with the shock of the magic. Without the power to resist, the bodies of the seven people began to hurt along with the shattered space, and began to tear apart gradually.
"Shameless dryad, you used lowly humans to lure me out of the cave!" the dragon was stunned, as if remembering something, roared, and left the wind and sail and the others, and turned back to the lair.
In Dragon**, thirteen "tree men" with a strange appearance that are very different from the tree people seen before the wind fell sail launched a magic attack. Before the dragon could turn back into the cave, there were already two blood marks on its body.
"Those humans don't have the strength to fight this dragon at all, this dragon is still so powerful, the traces of decay don't hurt it much, let's retreat!" This was the voice of the tree man that Feng Luofan and the others first encountered.
They weren't tree people, they were dryads! They deceived Feng Luofan and the others in order to lure the dragon away, and then seize the dragon's treasure!
In the mist, there was an exclamation from a dryad, which was ended by a scream.
"Die, evil dryad, and pay for your evil deeds!"
There are similarities between the Treants and the Elves, and that they use the magic of nature as their main magic. However, the Dryad Clan mainly cultivates by plundering, eroding, occupying, and forcibly absorbing the magic of other living beings. The dryads used all their magic to fend off several attacks from dragons under the spell of the Traces of Rot, but were eventually killed by the dragons.
Traces of Rot, the most evil of the magic from dark magic, has a strong effect on dragons. As time passed, the dragon began to enter madness, and the dark aura that overflowed from the initial scars began to spread to the dragon's body, and this crazy dragon was like the dark dragon king, and the heavens and the earth screamed.
Above the entire dewy abyss, the magical elements violently stirred. Although they did not directly attack Feng Luofan and the others, everyone was like a weak grass in a strong wind. Even the earth began to shake and shatter!
"Wanliyun!" Xiang Banli shouted, the rock at Wanliyun's feet suddenly shattered, and Wanliyun, who was extremely injured, fell straight into the abyss.
Xiang Banli jumped down possessively, grabbed the fallen Wanli Cloud with one hand, and grabbed a small tree on the edge of the cliff with the other.
"Banli, Banli, don't let go, I don't want to die, I want to be with you forever!" Wanliyun shouted, drawing magic from the chaotic magical space.
"I know, but, I, I'm running out of it. Tears flowed down her cheeks, but she had a sweet smile on her face. The small tree in Xiang Banli's hand was uprooted, and the person fell into the abyss.
"You love me, please forgive me. You don't mind dying for me!I'm sorry!" Wanliyun used the magic he had just absorbed in a moment, broke free from Xiang Banli's hand, stepped on the void, stepped on Xiang Banli's body, jumped onto the cliff, and fled quickly in the direction of the forest without looking back. Xiang Banli fell into the abyss at a faster speed. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, Xiang Banli closed her eyes, the laughter disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the tears fell, turning into a part of the vapor.
"Xiang Banli ......" Ziling shouted, and the person leaned into the abyss to look at it, only to feel that there was endless gasp in the abyss, and the center of gravity was unstable for a while, and he fell straight down.
Feng Luofan held Ziling's hand, but for some reason, no magic could be used in this space, and all power was imprisoned.
The roar of the earth caused a vast void in the canyon to create a vast void that imprisoned all magical elements. Feng Luofan clenched Ziling's hand, and the two of them fell straight down into the bottomless abyss, only to hear someone faintly shouting their names.
The dragon's magic unleashed a continuous assault in the surrounding space. When the wind fell, I only felt that my whole body was full of pain. The pain hurt my heart, as if death was coming.
Feng Luofan didn't feel afraid, but he felt very tired and tired, as if he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. But when he was extremely tired and weak, his mind gradually became sober.
There was no sound in the whole world, and it was terrifyingly quiet. Feng Luofan opened his eyes with difficulty little by little, but the whole world has endless darkness, so that Feng Luofan doesn't know if he has opened his eyes.
But the wind could feel the sails, he had reached the bottom of the abyss, and he could feel the hard, uneven ground beneath his back.
The wind fell and the sails lay like this, in eternal darkness.
I don't know how long it took, in the darkness, a little light quietly lit up in front of the wind and sails, and the light floated in the darkness, near and far. And then a little more, and a little more, more and more, filled the whole boundless world of darkness.
Am I dead, is this the fire of the soul?
The wind fell and the sail shook his body, and pain came from all over his body.
I, I'm not dead, I'm not supposed to be dead, it's pain, unbearable pain!
Feng Luofan noticed a touch of coldness in his hand, Feng Luofan's heart shook, turned his head sideways, and with the faint light around him, he only saw Ziling's face pale and his eyes closed.
It took a long time for Feng Luofan to sit up and probe Ziling's breathing, and her breathing was normal. The injuries on Ziling's body are also traumatic. The scar is not deep, and it has congealed the wound on its own.
The wind and sails were relieved, and they looked around to carefully observe their surroundings.
Feng Luofan touched the loose things under him, and those things sounded with a crisp sound of metal, and they turned out to be countless gold coins!
In the darkness, a slender humanoid swayed in the distance. Feng Luofan took out the torch in the bag and wanted to light it with magic, but here, he didn't feel any magic element. The wind fell and picked up the flint again, but it could not make any fire.
"Huh. Ziling let out a soft sound, slowly woke up, and opened her eyes, "IāI'm not dead!"
Feng Luofan nodded, "Yes, but we don't know where we fell into, is this the bottom of the abyss?"
